<div>Dear Zee Foundation supporters,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Zee Foundation orphanage house has collapsed. The 12 children who live in the house are currently living outdoors. Since we shot this video we purchased sleeping bags and tents. All of our resources are being used to keep the kids safe, fed, and in school.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a result of this horrible turn of events, we are stepping up our efforts to find a temporary shelter and rebuild the house. Please contribute anything you can today!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Orphanage founder Balinda Zahara has been living in the tents with the kids. Her near-term dream is to build a safe orphanage that can accommodate at least 20 of our 50 children. A home where they can sleep under a secure roof, study without fear, and grow up with dignity and love.
